2.1.1 (2023-02-08)

2.1.0 (2023-02-08)

• c_api: Added outputRosMessage() method that directly serializes ROS messages into allocated buffers.
• log_utils: Added MemoryLogHelper, reworked the interface of LogHelper a bit.
• Completely reworked log_utils to use macros instead of functions. This was needed because of the static log_location variables inside ROS_ macros - e.g. _ONCE was only triggered once regardless of where was it called from. There were also not so helpful file:line data in the logged messages. Backwards compatibility was kept 99%, but there are subtle cases where it will fail - e.g. if there was this->log->logError() right after an if or else without braces.
• Added c_api.h.
• Added cras::expected.
• Fixed doxygen configuration and a few documentation errors. To get a clean rosdoc_lite run, set INPUT_FILTER = "sed 's/([ <])::/1/g'" in doxy.template in rosdoc_lite .
• xmlrpc_value_utils: Added conversion to dynamic_reconfigure/Config message.
• string_utils: Added cras::strip().
• Added std::any shim.
